Here at Albuquerque Institute of Music, we are always looking at ways we can improve your lesson experience and give our students more.

The one thing we've learned is that parents want to know more about how their child is doing… even adult students like to know for themselves!

We have joined up with a national music lesson award system call the Musical Ladder System®. We are the only school in the entire state of New Mexico to license MLS®!

This is a proven system that helps students get excited about music and helps keep parents informed as to how they are doing.

Similar to karate belt tests, periodically your teacher will schedule a test for you or your child. If the students pass the test they will receive one of these really cool wristbands and a certificate of achievement for their level. At certain levels, students will even get personalized trophies with their name on it!

This program has been proven for years to bring a smile to parents and students faces and we're very excited about enhancing your music lesson experience. 

The best part? It's all FREE! All of your wristbands, trophies, certificates and the online account for MLS are all FREE and part of your tuition if you/your kiddo(s) are on a monthly recurring plan!

*Students must be on a monthly recurring weekly lesson plan to be enrolled into MLS®.
